This is it! The last issue of our first year of SFC&G. And What a year it has been! We are delighted that you have welcomed the magazine into your homes and your hearts, and are energized by your feedback. I have met many of you around town at the numerous design and charitable events we have sponsored—from the Junior League of San Francisco’s home tour to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the San Francisco Fall Antiques Show, just to name a few! We are honored to have been involved with such wonderful events within the community and appreciate all of your support.

To close out the marvelous year, we will be celebrating the season of giving by sponsoring the annual Jingle & Mingle Designer Wreath Auction. On December 4, join the best Bay Area designers who will create exquisite one-of-a-kind holiday wreaths for auction benefiting Children of Shelters at the stunning Golden Gate Club in the Presidio. This festive black-tie, 1920s-themed affair will celebrate hearts of gold, drawing socialites, designers and local celebrities together for a night of giving. A special addition this year will feature 10 art pieces generously donated by artists from Stephanie Breitbard Fine Arts. All proceeds will directly impact the homeless children of San Francisco by creating educational and cultural opportunities to inspire and support the confidence and experience needed to break free from the cycle of poverty. We hope you will join us this holiday season. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit childrenofshelters.org/events/jingle-mingle
